1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionTrends and trace of teenage pregnancy continue to rise, and this poses a threat to the future of the education of the youth, as well as their well-being-ultimately the economic status of the country. The aim of this study is to gain insights from non-governmental organisations about the strategies to curb teenage pregnancy in Lepelle-Nkumpi District of Limpopo province.

methodsAn exploratory qualitative research design was utilised to obtain insiders' perspectives about the strategies to curb teenage pregnancy. Thirty non-governmental organisation workers were purposively selected from the five sub-districts in Capricorn District, Limpopo province. Five focus groups, conducted in English, each lasted one to 2 h. A thematic approach was used-analysis method was used to deductively code, interpret and summarise data into themes.

resultsFive themes emerged such as multi-stakeholder collaborations, economic empowerment, information seeking and sharing sessions, nurturing bonds with children, and extra mural activities.

conclusionThe study highlighted the need for multifaceted approaches and collaborations to prevent teenage pregnancy. This helps policymakers, healthcare providers, educators, stakeholders, and researchers create strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy rates. This supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: good health and well-being, quality education and gender equality. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS: The study participants were members of non-governmental organisations, who shared their lived experiences. The information gathered was analysed and interpreted to reach conclusions, without involving the participants in the data analysis and interpretation process.
